  • BookLamp.org matches readers to books through an analysis of writing styles, similar to the way that Pandora.com matches music lovers to new music. Do you like Stephen King’s It, but thought it was too long? BookLamp allows you to find books with a similar level of tone, tense, perspective, action, description, and dialog - while at the same time allowing you to specify details like... half the length. It’s impervious to outside influences - like advertising - that impact socially driven recommendation systems, and isn’t reliant on a large user base to work.
  • VisuWords - Need help with vocabulary? This site is AWESOME! Find definitions, parts of speech, related words, synonyms, etc. Create word webs and print to help you study! I cannot recommend this one enough!
  • The Moonlit Road - Like ghost stories? You decide if you'd like to read these Southern ghost stories and folktales yourself or listen to the audio versions read by accomplished storytellers.

  • American Authors on the Web : This is a website with authors and links to their work ranging from 1550 to 1950. Also on this site is a link at the top to "General Resources." Though some of the links are broken, it is an immense resource of American authors, literature, literary movements, etc.
